Doc Text:
An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in PHP due to insufficient input validation in the imageloadfont() function. This flaw allows a remote attacker to pass specially crafted data to the web application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error, and read the contents of memory on the system.

Description TEJ RATHI 2022-11-02 04:51:58 UTC 
It is possible to construct font files supposed to be loaded by imageloadfont() which trigger OOB reads if the fonts are actually accessed (e.g. by imagechar()).  The given test scripts exploits that by triggering the assignment of a zero byte memory allocation to gdFont.data (which is happily accepted by imageloadfont()), and to read beyond this "buffer" when calling imagechar(). So if an application allows to upload arbitrary font files and working with these, it is likely vulnerable.
